Boba Fett is a bounty hunter / mercenary and at the time of the
Original Trilogy he does work for Jabba the Hutt.
As far as I've read, Boba Fett being in, or the main character of the
live-action TV show is still only a rumour.

Obi-Wan does know something Han doesn't - Obi-Wan knows about the Force
and all it's abilities.

Thank God. It was bad enough shoe-horning in Chewie and Boba Fett to
appease dumb fans who can't understand that there's an entire galaxy
and characters do not "have" to appear in every single movie.

Nope. The live-action TV show is about a minor movie character, and
does not include any of the main characters - not Luke or Leia, not
Obi-Wan, not Yoda, not Vader and not Han and Chewie.
You should be looking at minor characters like Boba Fett, Greedo, Aurra
Sing, perhaps Biggs or Wedge although the rumours say bounty hunters.
